Granted. He now sits at your desk with you all day (office, cubicle, home - wherever it is you do your work).
I wish my young fruit tree hadn’t died.
Granted. Your fruit tree lived, but now only produces durian which keep splitting open whenever you walk out your front door.
I wish it was the weekend already.
Granted. You are in Tonga where it’s Saturday morning now. Unfortunately you need to get on a 4 segment international flight now to make it back to work on Monday.
I wish I could spend next week in Hawaii
Granted. You now have leprosy and are sent to Kalaupapa.
I wish I had a Dr. Pepper right now.
Granted you now also have leprosy and are in Kalaupapa with Arthuritas, but you have a Dr. Pepper.
I wish I could trust certain stakeholders to get things right the 1st time.
Granted. You trust them now, but they’re still doing the same dumb mistakes. Now you need to update your resume.
I wish someone would guess my 20Q item correctly!
Granted. You hired an intern that spilled the beans to everyone about your 20Q item.
I wish I had a capable intern for next year’s NFL Full Season Pick’em contest.
Granted. They are very capable, but decide to give you crappy advice. They win the contest.
I wish my kids would stop teasing each other.
Granted. They won’t stop tasing each other though.
I wish there’s no pain in life.
Granted. The Life boardgame has no pain, but it’s a somewhat boring and uninteresting game to play.
I wish we could have a board games meetup here this year
Granted, but the only board game you can play is Sorry!
I wish I was a better cook.
Granted. You now make the best instant ramen in the entire world.
I wish my new glasses would arrive.
Granted. But they changed the sign on your prescription. Now you get to fight with the manufacturer, the doctors office, and your insurer over who pays for the mistake. Before it gets fixed.
I wish asset meetings weren’t SOOO boring.
Granted. Your boss starts doing a strip tease in the middle of the meeting and you get fired for tucking dollar bills in their waistband, while they go on temporary disability to deal with the issues that led them to that moment.
I wish we didn’t have to do IT’s job for them.
Granted. You’re now doing IT’s job.
I wish humans never invented clothing and we think nudity is normal like animals.
Granted. We also never invented sunscreen, so skin cancer is more prevalent and often in the most sensitive bits.
I wish I had more knowledge/expertise in handling home repairs.
Wish granted. You become an expert at patching up holes in the wall, you get lots of practice because you kids have anger management issues and throw each other through the wall.
I wish it were normal to take 2 hours for lunch instead of 1
Granted. But you’re forced to move to Spain.
I wish @Vorian_Atreides would start another game of Secret Hitler
Granted.
You miss the sign up period and the game goes 10 highly contentious rounds. Everyone is heartily sick of it after that and it is never played again.
I wish I could motivate myself today.
Granted, but that was 3 days ago and you are unmotivated again.
I wish I hadn’t accidentally just dumped way too much chili powder into the dish I am making
